2/594‘Jhund’: Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar to come together yet again for the Nagraj Manjule directorial

After winning the hearts of the audience with his Marathi super hit film ‘Sairat’, director Nagraj Manjule is all set to make his Bollywood debut in direction with his upcoming film ‘Jhund’. The film, which stars Amitabh Bachchan, will also apparently feature Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru of ‘Sairat’ fame.

According to reports, Rinku and Akash will be seen in the film. However, they would not be paired opposite each other. Amitabh Bachchan reportedly plays the role of sports teacher Vijay Barse and both Rinku and Akash will don the slum soccer player avatars on the silver screen. Both the actors have already shot in Nagpur for the same for more than a week.

The movie will apparently be a reunion of sorts for Manjule and the two actors. The young actors are reportedly thrilled and excited to be able to share the screen with Amitabh Bachchan.

The report also stated that Chhaya Kadam, who played the role of Suman akka in ‘Sairat’, will also be a part of the movie. She will be seen playing Big B's wife in the film.

Jhund is reportedly based on the life of soccer coach Vijay Barse, who founded an NGO named Slum Soccers to popularise the sport among slum kids.

Ayushmann Khurrana's wife Tahira Kashyap who battled with breast cancer last year and is still under going some last sessions to rule out the deadly disease will soon don the director's hat for the big screen for Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar and Bhushan Kumar's next film, which is tentatively titled as 'Sharma Ji Ki Beti'. For the uninitiated, its not for the first time that Tahira will try her hands on direction, she has earlier made a short film, titled 'Toffee' in the year 2018.

Interestingly, for 'Sharma Ji Ki Beti', the makers have zeroed on Madhuri Dixit Nene and 'Mirzya' actress Saiyami Kher. Both the actress have agreed upon the film and the makers have already had joint narrations with both the ladies. Saiyami plays a modern girl Indian girl, who is an athlete while Madhuri has an author-backed role. Moreover, the film is based on two women from different age groups and also deals with the subject of urban existence and conflicts. The film is expected to go on floors in the next coming months.
